Default Another fender triming question

Is there any way to trim the rear fenders and keep the stock fender flares, It only rubs a little in the back, I searched the forum and couldn't really find anything, So maybe theres a link someone has, maybe pictures, or ideas, anything would help

the only way you could do it would be to rivet the bolt plates for the flares back on after trimming. It wouldn't look good though 'cuz the two won't match anymore with the fender having a larger opening.

I tried moving mine up back when I cared what it looked like. Got them all nice and attached with new bolts, cause all the old ones broke. First trip out and ripped one off. After 3 or 4 times trying to get them to stay on I gave up. Not sure how you would do the rear without cutting it in half unless you have a 2 door.
